[The returned smile makes Loki want to kiss Hob, but it feels much too early to do such a thing, and not something he wants to do for the first time while inebriated. Hob is much too special to deserve that. It doesn’t mean he isn’t tempted though. Oddly, Loki seems to have just enough brain left to hold himself back. If there’s one thing he is exceedingly conscious of in this moment, it is that he doesn’t want to take a wrong step. He’s happy enough that he hasn’t been rejected.]
I find that hard to believe. If anything, it is you who are out of my league.
[Of course it helps that Hob is immortal, but only in the way that Loki can’t imagine having feelings for someone who would only live for a fraction of his life. Though it is something he keeps well hidden from most, Loki’s feelings are easily hurt and he’s always imagined such a thing would tear his heart from his chest, and he is far too selfish to be willing to experience such a thing. Otherwise, Loki feels like Hob is far too good a person to look at him at all. He’s still amazed that they are even friends, but that he might get more? Well, Loki doesn’t think he’s ever felt more grateful in his life.]
